Cut the cauliflower into small, evenly sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 7

Spread the coated cauliflower florets out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown on the edges.
